Common questions about Mattofuse in printing inks applications
MATTOFUSE's contoured particle geometry creates micro-scale topographical variations at the ink surface that scatter light into multiple directions, converting specular reflection into diffused reflection.
MATTOFUSE provides equivalent or superior matting efficiency at lower dosages, with reduced mechanical wear on press components and no negative impact on ink rheology.
Yes, MATTOFUSE is specifically designed as a CaCO₃-based alternative to precipitated silica matting agents in both water-based and solvent-based ink systems.
No, because matte effect is achieved through optical diffusion rather than light absorption, the ink film retains full clarity, color depth, and mechanical integrity.
Typical usage levels are 3–6%, depending on the desired gloss level and the specific water-based or solvent-based ink system being formulated.
